89 Silverwing Auction House (1/2)
Elune was a little disappointed about the broken horns but they could still try and get a price for them as they were broken almost at the base of the head. Midori was able to complete her task with flying colors and they all got to work on getting the pelts and horns while Midori absorbed the carca.s.s of the Greater Kudus killed through poison and Rahz cook the Patriarch.
”I think is about time we head back, the auction should be a week away and we need to try to sell some of the gold coins from Master Chrysalis” Said Elune to the three people laying on the gra.s.s looking at the sky with a stalk in their mouths.
”Ok. We can go back after the skins are processed and ready to go”
The team had the process of cleaning and tanning the hides down to a science and all they need was time for things to take their course. This process took 3 days and in the meantime they hunted, ate and practice the skills left to them by their ancestor. Rahz was still not able to circulate his energy well enough to activate Warrior's Fury but it was something to be expected. Until now they had only used the skills provided by the G.o.ds where the basics were ingrain onto their bodies. It was for this reason that a person with a teacher had many advantages when learning new skills for a cla.s.s.
According to the most powerful individuals it was extremely important to keep evolving and creating their own path towards the apex. The most deadliest of experts were the ones that deviated from the regular path set by the G.o.ds.
Thanks to the pouch provided by master a.s.sa.s.sin Chrysalis transporting the materials required by the quest was a cinch. The moment they arrived to the Fair Lady a wave of gossip reached them.
There had been recent news about the Blood Harvester and apparently it had stroke again. Since the discovery of the corpse pit, the people of Naas had been keeping track of anything out of the ordinary and that mean that unlike before there was now more awareness and information about missing people.
The night before, a 10 year old kid left home to buy some cooking essentials for his mother and never came back home. The mother was devastated and had place a pretty hefty reward at the adventurer guild. The patrolling guards had also increased and there was even a guard recruitment sign that displayed great benefits for those willing to join them, many mercenaries had switched camps and answered the call of money.
In a dungeon somewhere in the great town of Naas… A kid around the age of 10 was finally regaining consciousness and found himself with both hands and feet cuffed to an iron table where he laid looking to bright ceiling lights.
”You are finally awake!! I thought I would have to wait another day for the sleeping powder to wear off, and here I was thinking about complaining to my provider next time that I saw him but lo o k a t t h a t.. I t a l l w o r k e d o u t h o w i t w a s s u p p o s e t o”
”Who are you?” Said the kid.
”I am your savior little Timothy”
”How do you know my name?What am I in this chains?”
”I've been observing you since your awakening ceremony little Timothy, you chose the wrong G.o.d. THE GREAT ODOS OFFERED YOU A CHANCE AND WHAT DID YOU DO TIMOTHY HAH!!! You chose to follow that good for nothing Izana G.o.ddess of Valor. Kekeke… not to worry... not to worry… The great Odos is a forgiving deity but nothing is free you see….”
As the edge of the knife approached, screams ran throughout the dungeon.
The authorities of the town were concerned but not for the right reasons, they were concerned about face. The Blood Harvester had been operating in their town for years and the society function without a hitch, but now that this ugly side was exposed the income of the powerful tyc.o.o.ns were starting to shake ever so slightly as merchants and tourist left a little earlier that they were supposed to. It took them years to create the reputation of a prosperous town were dreams came true and if rumors started to spread that it was unsafe to go there, they stood to lose vast amount of money.
The auction house was one of the main drivers of the economy and they were looking for a big item to misdirect the attention of the crowds from the Blood Harvester. The prayers of the top bra.s.s were answered in the form of Dark Elf girl, a half Barbarian, a pink humanoid, and an 11 ft Snake.
